use the same.

This invention relates to meat-roasting devices; and the object thereofis to provide an improved device of this class which is designed to beplaced in a stove or range and by means of which a 'piece of meat-suchas a roast, a chicken, a turkey, or any other article of this classwhich it is desired to roast-may be more conveniently roasted or cookedthan with devices of this class as usually constructed and which willalso serve the purpose of an automatic baster during thev rocess ofcooking. y

' he invention is fully disclosed in the following speciiication, ofwhich the accompanying drawin s forms a part, in which the separateparts o my improvement are designated by suitable reference charactersin each of the views, and in which-V f aFigure 1 is a side view of myimproved meat-roasting devicepart of the construction being in section;Fig. 2, 'a lan view thereof; and Fig. 3, an end view 'with part of theconstruction in section.`

yThe invention described and claimed this a plication is'an improvementon that described and claimed in an a plication fory Letters Patent ofthe United tates filed by me March 1, 1906, Serial No. 303,578, and linthe practice of my invention as shown,

described, andl claimed herein, I provide a' pan a, having yoke-shapedsu ports b pivoted or hinged transversely o the bottom end portionsthereof, as shown at b2, and said supports may be raised to an uprightposition, as shown in full lines in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, or lowered into ahorizontal position and rested on the bottom of the pan, as indicated indotted lines in Fig. 2. I also provide an open-work receptacle c,composed of metal, andwhich may consist of perforated sheet metal, wiregauze, or any other suitable material; but I prefer sheet Inetal havinglarge holes or openings c2 in the sides and ends thereof, and saidreceptacle is composed of two similar parts hinged together at c3, andany suitable means may be provided for holding the separate parts of thereceptacle together, such as clamps, catches, or other devices oppositethe hinges c3.

The receptacle c 1s provided longitudinally of two or more of its sidesin the form of con. struction shown with scoops or dippers d, which aresecured thereto in any desired manner, preferably by means of tongues d2passed inwardly through the material of the receptacle, and these scoopsor dip ers d are open at one side, and the outer c osed side thereof ispreferably curved, and said Scoops or dippers .are of such dimensionsthat when the receptacle c is turned on the lsupports b the contents ofthe pan a will be scooped u and dumped onto the receptacle and througlitheopenlngs or perforations therein onto the meat'contained therein, andin .this way the meat will be automatically basted, as will be readilyunderstood.

In practice the meat to be roasted is placed in the receptacle c, andsaid receptacle is closed and the supports b are raised into an uprightposition and the receptacle c placed thereon, and when so mounted saidreceps tacle may be 'rotated within the pan a., `and this may be done bymeans of a fork, spoon, or other device inserted through the door of theoven of a stove or range in which the said roasting device is placed.

The rece tacle c is provided at itso'pposite ends with eaded pins e, andthe supports b are provided in the top thereof with downwardly-directedloop members or recesses b3, adapted to receive said headed pins, andthe supports b are also provided at the bo'ttom thereof with feet b4,and in this way the receptacle c holds the supports in an u rightposition, and the saidreceptacle may fie turned or rotated ashereinbefore described.

may be thoroughly ande ually roasted on'.

all sides thereof and in muc less time than is possible with devices ofthis class as usually constructed.

The receptacle c, as will be seen, is sim ly IOO IIO

an open-work casing or receiver compose of r two parts hinged togetherat one sideand provided at the opposite side with means for securingthem together when the meat to be roasted is placed therein, and saidreceiver has no interior obstructions of any kind and may be entirelyfilled with meat, if desired.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A meat-roasting device adapted to be placed in an oven, said devicecomprising a pan having supports pivoted or hinged to the bottom thereofnear the opposite ends thereof and adapted to be folded flat on thebottom of the pan and to be raised into an upright positionI anopen-work receptacle adapted to be rotatably mounted on said supportswhen the latter are in an upright position, said supports being alsoprovided at their pivoted or hinged points with means whereby they areheld. in said upright position when the receptacle is placed thereon.

2. A meat-roasting device adapted to be v placed in an oven, said devicecomprising a pan having supports pivoted or hinged to the bottom thereofnear the opposite ends thereof and adapted to be folded fiat on thebottom of the pan and to be raised into an upright position, anopen-work receptacle adapted to be rotatably mounted on said supportswhen the latter are in an upright position, said supports being alsoprovided at their pivoted or hinged points with means whereby they areheld in said upright position when the receptacle is placed thereon,said receptacle being divided longitudinally into two parts hingedtogether at one side.

3. A meat-roasting device adapted to be placed in an oven, said devicecomprising a pan having yoke-shaped supports the sides of which arepivoted or hinged to the bottom of the pan near the opposite endsthereof,

said supports being adapted to be folded on the bottom of the pan and tobe raised into an upright position, an open-work receptacle adapted tobe rotatably mounted on said supports when the latter are in an uprightposition, said supports being alsoprovided at their pivoted or hingedpoints with laterally-directed feet whereby when the receptacle ismounted thereon they will be held in an upright position by saidreceptacle and said feet, said receptacle being divided longitudinallyinto two parts hinged together at one side, and the opposite sideportions thereof being provided with longitudinally-arranged dippers orscoops.

4. A meat-roasting device adapted to be placed in an oven, said devicecomprising a pan having supports pivoted or hinged to the bottom thereofnear the opposite ends thereof and adapted to be folded flat on thebottom of the pan and to be raised into an upright position, an open-work receptacle ad apted to be rotatably mounted on said supportswhen the latter are in an upright position, said supports being alsoprovided at their pivoted or hinged points with meanswhereby they areheld in said upright position when the receptacle is placed thereon,said receptacle being divided longitudinally into two parts hingedtogether at one side, and being also provided at its sides withlongitudinally-arranged dippers or scoops.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of the subscribing Witnesses, this 3d dav of May,1906.
